Cry If They Want To

You would cry too,

If it happened to you.

The Chief Executive of UKIP, Will Gilpin, has resigned because he cannot cope with the rank amateurs and the certifiable lunatics, and he cannot see anyone else in the thing.

Nigel Farage wants to replace him with Neil Hamilton. Yes, you read aright. Neil Hamilton.

Meanwhile, UKIP's former Deputy Leader, Mike Nattrass, is to go to law over his removal as a candidate at next year's European Elections.

That removal, in itself, might indicate either utter amateurism, or else the utterly cynical hyper-professionalisation at which what was once the amateurish SNP seems to have arrived.

The case of Bill Walker is political dynamite. The Scottish Labour Party lacks neither the means nor the will to make it explode.
